How to Conduct Skilled Performance Evaluations Workshop


In-Person Workshop at SOWELA Technical Community College | Lake Charles, LA

Workshop Description

This one-day workshop allows individuals that work in Natural Gas Distribution Operations, Gas Transmission Pipeline, Gas Gathering, and Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Systems to discover effective skill evaluation principles through classroom discussion and analyzing industry-related case studies.

Class discussion along with the case studies focus on the Evaluator/Employee dynamic during OQ or other skill evaluations that address an employee’s technical skill performance. The assessment techniques allow Evaluators to prepare and review performance of OSHA Safety, Operator Qualification, or Technical Training skill evaluation by observing the performance of tasks consistently and objectively. Additionally, the appropriate use of questions, recognize and avoid barriers to effective evaluation; evaluate acceptable task competence and documentation practices aid in the evaluation of technical competence.
